JOSHUA: Training for Leadership

Joshua 1:1-8

Much of our learning comes through the power of examples. Therefore, the wise Christian will deliberately find godly examples and follow them. In  Joshua we see a man who spent years in preparation under a great leader, and so became fit to become the leader himself in God's own time..

We think of Joshua as a great warrior, whose power and success were due to the blessing of God on his life. At the same time , it is important four us to see that Joshua was a trained and prepared man as well. God used Joshua's time of training under Moses to prepare him for the leadership of the nation . If we will take  the time and effort to become prepared, God will be able to use us more effectively as well..
